  2. Multiplexer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexer

    Schematic of a 1-to-2 demultiplexer. Like a multiplexer, it can be equated to a controlled switch. In electronics, a multiplexer (or mux; spelled sometimes as multiplexor), also known as a data selector, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards the selected input to a single output line.

  3. Tap changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_changer

    Alternatively, in some systems, the process of tap changing may be assisted using a rotary or slider switch. No-load tap changers are also employed in high-voltage distribution-type transformers in which the system includes a no-load tap changer on the primary winding to accommodate transmission system variations within a narrow band around the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telephone_switches

    EMS-1 (The ITEC Electronic Modular Switch is an electronic direct control switching system. The modules are combined to form a complete switch or any of the modules can be added to your present Step-by-Step Systems.) EMS-2 (The EMS-2 RURAL SWITCH is a stored program control analog switch designed to be cost-effective in small exchanges.

  5. Switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

    Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (a float switch), the turning of a key , linear or rotary movement (a limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch). Many switches are operated automatically by ...

  6. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    Original IBM power supplies for the PC (model 5150), XT and AT included a line-voltage power switch that extended through the side of the computer case. In a common variant found in tower cases, the line-voltage switch was connected to the power supply with a short cable, allowing it to be mounted apart from the power supply.

  7. KVM switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch

    Also called an Enumerated KVM switch or USB switch selector, a connected/shared USB device must go through the full initiation process (USB enumeration) every time the KVM is switched to another target system/port. The switching to different ports is similar to the process of physically plugging and unplugging a USB device into the targeted system.

  8. Ayrton shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_shunt

    Multirange ammeters that use this technique are more accurate than those using a make-before-break switch. [4] Also it will eliminate the possibility of having a meter without a shunt which is a serious concern in make-before-break switches. [5] The selector switch changes the amount of resistance in parallel with R m (meter resistance). The ...

  9. Electronic switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_switch

    Without using moving parts, they are called solid state switches, which distinguishes them from mechanical switches. [ 1 ] Electronic switches are considered binary devices because they dramatically change the conductivity of a path in electrical circuit between two extremes when switching between their two states of on and off .
